Well, this is an awkwardly overdue post, but here we are. This is quite a long post, so brace yourselves!

On August 13th my family and journeyed to Hershey, Pennsylvania. We decided on Thursday that a mini vacation was in order. After a Friday spent wrestling with luggage, we set off early Saturday morning. The roads meandered through idyllic farmlands and verdure-covered hills. Around four hours later (an hour of which was spent battling New York’s tumultuous traffic), we arrived at our first destination – Hershey Gardens.
